Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Remember the ‘Bridge to Nowhere’? Dems do<\/a> – Sauce for the goose …<\/li>\n
  2. Hmm. Prominent Conservative Radio Hosts Planted Scripted Actors Among Callers<\/a> – I’m shocked, shocked!<\/li>\n
  3. Take this DC woman off ice: Vixen<\/a> – Love to see more Vixen.<\/li>\n
  4. Daily Kos: I Don’t Want to be a Teacher Any More<\/a> – Having taught in public school for two whole years (!), this very much strikes home to me. People — and pols — have no idea. Which makes it easy to casually cut budgets, casually raise testing standards, and casually demonize teachers and teacher unions as the “cause” of education problems.<\/li>\n
  5. Hawass admits Egypt’s ancient heritage is in danger – life – 04 March 2011 – New Scientist<\/a> – While I have an appreciation for countries wanting repatriation of antiquities borrowed \/ acquired \/ looted from them in past centuries, many of those countries are unstable enough to lead to worries about this sort of thing. E.g., are the Elgin marbles really better off back in Greece?<\/li>\n
  6. PrisonCount – California state adult prisons, in pictures<\/a> – They’re almost pretty, in aggregate.<\/li>\n
  7. New Ben Franklin Letters Discovered in London Library Archive – washingtonpost.com<\/a> – Amazing what kind of stuff is still rattling around in the various corners of the world.<\/li>\n
  8. Zits for 3\/3\/2011<\/a> – I feel this way every time Kay reaches some new level of cognition and\/or maturity.<\/li>\n
  9. Religious Leaders Call for Moral Budgeting, ctd.<\/a> – What Would Jesus Cut? (cont.) …<\/li>\n
  10. ThinkProgress \u00bb Newt Gingrich Launches 2012 Presidential Campaign Website With Stock Photo Of Supporters<\/a> – Recycling a Teddy Kenndy “Large Crowd of People Holding Stars and Stripes Flags” stock photo … priceless!<\/li>\n
  11. ThinkProgress \u00bb At Orange County Hate Rally, GOP Councilwoman Says She Wants Marines To Send Muslim Families To \u2018Paradise\u2019<\/a> – More lovely highlighting of one of the councilcritters in my in-laws’ town.<\/li>\n
  12. ThinkProgress \u00bb Arizona GOP Bill Would Let Gov. Brewer Create An Armed Militia For Whatever She \u2018Considers Necessary\u2019<\/a> – It’s like Arizona, Wisconsin, and Florida are in a crazy rave to prove themselves the groundbreaking Lunatic Republican State.<\/li>\n
  13. CWA: Obama the “Despot” is Discriminating Against Americans by Not Defending DOMA<\/a> – A classic example of people who see “rights” as a zero-sum game: if you give them to OTHERS, then you’re taking them from ME!<\/li>\n
  14. John Boehner Calls Americans Clueless About Economy<\/a> – Who are the elitists now?<\/li>\n
  15. Gingrich To Rumsfeld: Plant Army Spies Throughout Government<\/a> – Why do so many conservatives — supposedly defenders of the Republic and Democracy against Tyranny — fetishize the military? The critics of the Society of the Cincinnati would be appalled.<\/li>\n
  16. Close Enough?<\/a><\/li>\n
  17. Feature: 14-year old child pornographers? Sexting lawsuits get serious<\/a> – Lots of tangled webs here, which simplistic legal codes will not easily make intuitive sense of. (Reminds self to have a chat with his daughter, too.)<\/li>\n
  18. The Angry Traveler\u2019s Guide to Obscene Gestures<\/a> – Making a note of these for impending travels …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
